Preseason Open Game Thread #2: Bulls at Indiana Pacers

Blogabull_s_tiny by your friendly BullsBlogger on Comment 309 comments

No local TV or radio tonight from Ft. Wayne, IN. Rumor has it you can catch it on DirecTV or Dish Network through league pass. And there's always those seedy streaming sites on the internets. I refuse to advocate going to these places, but if you find a way there on your own I cannot stop you. As Mike North would say "I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin".

For all Indiana Pacer stuff, go to Indy Cornrows, a fantastic blog that deserves at least the amount readership my crappy blogging does, if not more.

I'd have to guess that anybody who was out for the Bulls on Thursday is also out tonight. I'm itching to see Gordon play with Rose. Beyond that all I'll ask from tonight is for my mind to be put to ease regarding the defense. The Pacers only scored 71 points in their preseason opener (though that was without Dunleavy and Murphy).

Gooden is out?!

Could this mean even MORE Tyrus?

God we're thin up front.

With the exception of Gray, that is.

Wonder if a Hughes for Raef Lafrentz deal makes any sense. Two disgustingly bad contracts, and it clears up space in the backcourt for us, and space in the frontcourt for Portland…

Asked what kind of player he expects to be in the next five years, he said: "Not a star, but like, a superstar. Something around, like, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, something like that."

Raef is already out for the season

Would they give us Nicolas Batum?

fingers crossed

THey won’t.

The only thing seedier than those internet sites

is the way companies like DirectTV and Time Warner Cable have made basketball prohibitively expensive to watch. They’re pretty despicable; and if their shortsightedness results in new ways to watch, that’s what I call a comeuppance!

As a DishTV customer,

I can tell you it is not possible to purchase NBA LP at the moment. Don’t know if they will wait until the real games start before making it available, but that’s what it looks like.

i'm pretty sure

directtv has a monopoly on preseason games on lp, because afaik you can’t get them on cable, either.

at least that was the case last season.

The game is on channel 673

FSIN on DirecTV. If you get a sports package that has the FSN channels check those stations. It the Indy announcers but better than no basketball.

Got the ball just inside the three-point line.

dribbled between the legs as a set up, took a dribble towards the lane/FT line, spun, got bodied up about 13 ft away, nearly swishing a basket

Noc and Hinrich blow.

Someone send Pax a postcard with the information, through a time machine, to 3 months ago. I’m getting angrier by the day that the franchise has anointed these two while Gordon got the squeeze.

In 26 minutes Tyrus line is

13 pts, 9 reb, 2 blk, 1st on 5/14 fg, 3/4 fts. Pretty good. He is earning him some playing time with his activity.

he's playing very evenly.

no lulls or anything. he’s engaged you can tell.

The announcers don't know Tyrus very well

They keep saying that he can’t shoot…when that is what he has been working on…

Larry Hughes with the worst shot I've ever seen!

3 second left, contested, he just jacks up a three. The man is incapable of passing. If he played for anybody else, it would be hilarious.

Where's Rose?

It bother’s me that they haven’t played him more. So what if he has 4 fouls?? Fouling out is irrelevant, and Hinrich is getting too much burn at the point right now.

He is. And the o-line is amazing.

It sucks. The offense will probably all come together next year, just in time for the defense to lose some key players. Luckily, that’s looking okay, too. Did you know Shonn greene is already 23? hah!

Wonder if he will be back next year? If he leaves it’s kind of looking like Jewel Hampton can step in and take his place.

what were your thoughts

on Brown? I didn’t get to see him play and am curious if all the positive talk on him is true. Do you think he can he play credible defense and rebound and get us a few points in the paint for 10 mins a night? I’m really hoping he beats out Michael Ruffin for the end of the bench.

It is preventive medicine.

He’s controlling the temperature in his lower back until he is ready to get in the ice bath for the shock treatment. Can’t do that until the game is over.

Send email to the beat writers and ask them to ask Tyrus. You can probably email the Bulls to ask about some of their medical practices.

Looks like Hughes has replaced Duhon as the most hated player on here

And I can understand why. I know Sue was just joking about “showcasing” him (in memory of the departed Bullshooter), but the best way to showcase him would be to not play him, because he hurts his value every time he plays. If Hughes takes even 1 minute away from Rose this season, then I’ll question whether Del Negro knows what he’s doing.

Anyone want to give a quick recap?

I saw some highlights on CSN, Tyrus looked deserving of the BaB love tonight, I loved that Thabo to Rose lob (though I’m hoping it’s more of the reverse as the year goes on).
